David Cavileer Ashley

He was sent at the last minute by the firm I had originally met with--Murname and O'Neill. He was late--didn't show up until court began--and did not even introduce himself to me or consult with me about my case before the hearing. When I called him on being late, he was arrogant and condescending to...ward me at all turns. When I told him I did not want him to represent me, he told me that since "everyone" in the Queen Anne's County District Court knew him the judge would probably give me a harsher penalty so I should not try to fire him that minute. All charges were dismissed and I had to pay a fine, which was acceptable, but this outcome was not because of any work he did. He merely accepted the offer given to him by state's counsel. He did not even stay long enough to explain the paperwork that I was given by the bailiff; I read it and took care of it myself.
